What wonderful ways did Zhu Yuanzhang come up with to make gamblers miserable in order to ban gambling?

After Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, he took many measures to consolidate his rule and make the country develop towards long-term stability. There is also a very rampant social phenomenon that is not conducive to social development in the Ming Dynasty, that is, gambling. During the Ming Dynasty, gambling was very serious. After Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, he racked his brains and came up with a wonderful way. First, he built a happy building to encourage people to gamble. Gambling enthusiasts took very strict control measures after being fooled. Zhu Yuanzhang used hard methods, so after taking these measures, the gambling atmosphere in Ming Dynasty was effectively controlled to a great extent.

First, Zhu Yuanzhang, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, visited privately. After Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, he was a diligent and good emperor. Always visit incognito and be considerate of people's feelings. Zhu Yuanzhang believes that if you want to know what the people are doing, you must go deep into the people. Therefore, during Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, there were many experiences of traveling incognito. It was because of these incognito visits that he found many problems, so Zhu Yuanzhang began to rectify them.

Second, Zhu Yuanzhang found that folk gambling was rampant. During Zhu Yuanzhang's private visit, he found many idle people in the streets and alleys. Although Zhu Yuanzhang led the country wholeheartedly, there were always some stubborn people. These people are gambling. Many gambling teahouses were opened, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry and decided to rectify this bad atmosphere.

Third, Zhu Yuanzhang set up Xiaoyao Building. After Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace, he ordered people to build a tower overnight and named it Xiaoyao Building. There are all kinds of gambling things in it. Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered people to release news outside the city, saying that there are places in the city that provide gambling for free. As a result, many gamblers came to Xiaoyao Building to start gambling. But after gambling for a while, they found that in this carefree building, they could only gamble, with no food or drink, and the soldiers held their hands and could not go out. So many gamblers starved to death.
